[GNC-dev] Find Transfers feature

[D]

Rob,

Welcome to Gnucash!

When you "label" your transfer Education:Books, in Gnucash you are putting it into a separate *account* named that. This is the fundamental difference between Quicken and Gnucash: Gnucash is a full double entry software package which uses accounts in place of categories. Reading up on this will help you greatly--the Gnucash Guide has some explanations, and there is more online.

So, to locate all those transactions*, just open** the Education:Books account. They will all be there.

* Of course, there is a search option, but it's provably not needed here.
** There are several ways to accomplish this. One is to double click the account in the chart of accounts. Another is to click the Jump button while a transaction to this account is highlighted.

I'm new to GnuCash and moving over from Quicken. Some things requires a
learning curve and this might be one of those. Is there a find Transfers
functionality somewhere? For example, we'd have a transaction with Transfer
labeled as "Education:Books", however not sure how we can Find transactions
by keyword "Education".

Thanks!
